I have a web site with and "Events" button that, when clicked opens a page called events.php. The events.php calls the calendar.pl file using this script:
<?php
header("Location: ?>

In IE, the script fails when the event.php page is opened. In firefox the path is called but the calendar.pl file will not run. Below is the calendar.pl file as I believe that is where the problem may lie, however it displays fine when I preview it locally. I'm using Front Page to move the updated files to the web site. The web site is hosted by a local ISP who is not much help. Please help. The problem started when I removed the contact email links and the "last Modidified" from the end of the calendar.pl file. Thanks!

Calendar.pl

That doesn't look like a perl file, rather just a html file

He has probably brought the .pl file up in IE and then did a view source and thought that was the script. If you want help your going to need to ftp/copy down the actual script.

Yep, that's what looks like happened. Somebody replaced the calendar.pl file with a copy of the HTML source from the page. Of course, that wiped out the path to the perl executable. Got it going now. Was able to telnet into the host site to find the path and rebuild the calendar.setup and calendar.pl files. Thanks for the clues PaulTEG and travs69. (Also implemented a solid backup plan for the site since the previous guy didn't have anything).
